If you want to form a country for protestants, run by Protestants, go ahead, but that ain’t the way it works here

That's hilarious. You did read the previous post noting that the "Of the 56 signers of the Declaration, one was Catholic, two were Quakers, and the rest various forms of Protestant"?

Think that it was precisely that: a country formed by Protestants.

But Protestants being tolerant folks they always did want to include like minded people from the start. It's sort of the root rationale, right?

Thus you have America.

But ask yourself this...when we Americans are the minority, will it still be America? Or are you one of those people who think that "we are all immigrants"?

Because uh...3 centuries after my ancestors hacked out subsistence farms along the Yadkin, that jist ain't true.

You must be upset by the lack of Quakers on the Supreme Court.

Protestants are a majority, but I looked in the Constitution and couldn’t find the passage that proscribed a numeric connection between percentage religion of population and Supreme Court representation

There were no blacks on the Court in the beginning. Guess they shouldn’t be allowed. No Jews either.

Good luck marching backwards in time.
